Team Extension
Client gets the pool of developers and QA engineers and manages them directly. All leading roles (PM, Architect, Team Lead etc.) are located on the customer’s side.
This model could be useful for mostly atomized, but complicated tasks available in large quantities within well-defined knowledge domain (hi-tech, design tools etc) requiring minimum inter-communications. Client: business domain, technical expertise, software requirements, development standards and processes, development environment. Contractor: development resources of required qualification level, infrastructure, communication channels. Usual size of a team is 5-10 people
